Publisher Notes

Reprint. 60,000 first printing. NYT.

Media Reviews

"Munro's short stories...contain whole lives (which should have taken whole novels) in the brief spaces of tales. She is the great describer of quotidian rhythms--food, embarrassment, clothes, ageing, sex, child-bearing and child-rearing....She still sees and records terrestrial dailyness with precision and glitter. But she seems to be looking from further away."
